Let's take a look at the five items I am expected to get this month. Shall we?

PACIFICA Eyeshadow Palette in Beach Crystals
VALUE: Approximately $12.00 USD
BANG BEAUTY Blush in Smoked Peach, Cheeky, or Showstopper
SMOKED PEACH: light peachy-pink shade with little gold flecks

SHOWSTOPPER: warm, rusty bronze shade
BIOBELLE Perfecting Primer Facial Mask

LUXIE BEAUTY Blending and Shading Eye Brush 249
VALUE: Approximately $30.00 USD
ONTO THE BAG: I am loving the blushing pink makeup bag with the black lace. I am obsessed.
FINAL VERDICT: I was overall disappointed with my bag. I had an allergic reason to the Pacifica palette. I did like the blush from Bang Beauty and I reach for it often (switching between this and my Tarte 12-hour Amazonian clay brush). I ended up with the shade, smoked peach. Thank you to the Goddesses of Makeup. (I would not have been able to use the other two shades). I have not tried the sheet masks from Biobelle (you get two!) NOTE: If you're someone like me, who doesn't prefer to do a mask before doing their makeup because it messes up their hair, you can use the masks at night too! I felt neutral about the dual-ended brush, I just can't store it because I put my makeup brushes in a stand-up case. As for the bag, I definitely thought it was cuter when I saw it online. I thought it was small, I couldn't fit any of my sheet masks in it. I was also not a fan of the material they chose, it would get dirty so easily! (I know this because I used it as a travel bag recently and my oil stained it).
NOTE: You can choose to skip next month's bag if you pause your subscription before the last day of the month.
Until next time...
